World's Largest Rabbit

Darius, measuring a whopping 4ft 4in (1.3m) and 22.2kg (48.9lb), is currently the world’s largest rabbit, but he’ll soon be trumped by his son, Jeff, who is currently 3ft 8in (1.1m) and has 6-months left of his growing phase. The father and son duo are both a part of the Continental Giant breed, which make great house pets by the way, if you can over look their food costs.

But it’s actually good for them to be eating hay all day long – to keep their teeth and digestive system healthy.
